- One of the most difficult things to accomplish in selling a collectible quality vehicle is obtaining full value. Study the market for similar vehicles in the same condition. Consult one of the quality value guides such as NADA. Do your homework. If the value is hard to establish because of the uniqueness of the vehicle, consider having a professional appraisal.
|

- Use high quality photos. If an auto is valued at $30,000 to $50,000 or more, don’t skimp on photos. Use a high quality digital camera and good lighting. Make sure to get high resolution photos of the body, the trim, exterior lights, interior, the dash, floors, motor well, tires, trunk and underside if appropriate. Always take photos in an appealing site. Buyers are going to want to know the condition of the body and any previous damage, along with the quality of any paint or body work. Get close up photos to make buyer’s decision to pursue a vehicle as easy as possible. The more transparent an ad is regarding the condition of the vehicle the easier it will be to attract the right match. Mautofied’s Ultimate Listing allows sellers to purchase as many photos as they require.

- Use the expanded descriptions that are available the Ultimate Listing. Don’t skimp on describing how it was restored, modified, garaged, and how any one-off parts were fabricated for this particular vehicle, making it unique and one of a kind.
|
| |
- Be upfront about the significant and unapparent problems and their approximate cost to repair. Be ready to discuss this with the buyer. Savvy buyers usually aren’t expecting perfection in cars that are 20 to 30 years old, but neither are they excited about surprises.
|
| |
- Answer all offers as politely as possible. The Internet allows for a larger number of tire kickers since electronic bids are so easy. Keep your offers in box clean; eventually a bonafide buyer will come around and who sees the value of the vehicle.
|
| |
- When a buyer comes to see the vehicle be prepared. Show the car in as appealing a location as possible. Arrange a time that’s conducive to a full inspection. Have time to have a detailed discussion. Be prepared to let the prospective buyer drive the car without you. Have all the necessary documents and paperwork ready for review. Be ready to consummate the transaction.
